Thanks Andy for the help.

   For some reason I only see a handful of classes there and not the one
   I need. Something may be missing. But I am able to use the second
method
   described below.  You are correct that the dvice markers do not seem
to
   be correct all the time. I now see advice markers on the target class
file
   but in the aspect file it says advice not applied. That is ok.

>That is correct, the warning will appear against the aspect in the
aspectj project saying, the warning is really >saying "I am not applying

>Sounds to me like your code is woven, you just need to run it.

   I am not able to run with this method. To make it work I have added
the project
   dependncies and libraries in Java Build Path and I finally got it
working.
   But in the process looks like I have created some circular dependency
between the
   two projects. Ecplise keeps endlessly rebuilding both these projects.
   I have to cleanup the dependencies.

   This will be useful. I will check it out.

Thanks again everyone for the help.
